Sagem Binder is the French E-Reader of the Moment; SFR Version Provides Free 3G

If the names FnacBook, Telecom Italia eBook and Thalia Oyo don’t sound familiar, you should know that they are one and the same device. They refer to a product made by Sagem and called the Binder. You can see it in the image below and know that it’ll be quite a popular item in France in the following months.

We’re talking about a 6 inch SiPix capacitive e-paper touchscreen e-reader, with 2GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot and support for ePub and PDF. What’s nifty about this product is that it comes with a cellular modem that provides its users with free 3G, courtesy of French carrier SFR.

Sagem Binder also comes with WiFi 802.11 b/g support and a $277 price tag. It’ll ship starting November 10th.
